1. What would be the specification required for the same hardware refresh?
2. Any recommendations before moving from 32 bit to 64 bit OS? (same platform)

Timely..... up till yesterday I had NBU 7.1 media server (upgraded from 6.5.x) running as my Vmware backup server on a DL360 G4p. It was running Windows Server 2003 x64. Would upgrade your RAM to at least 6GB or more.
Consider the advice about Hard disk space. If its the 1U edition then upgrade your disks to at a pair of 146GB. I think you only have two slots in that chassis.
(Now running on a DL380 G7 with 12GB RAM).
Now running as a NetBackup Media Server on the Veeam Proxy Server.
OS....Its up to you how it suits across your environment and OS experience skills. But MY first choice would always be Linux OS for Master.
